"Excuse me,"I said walking around him.

"What's up for real Toni?"he asked.

"Baby I'm fine okay I promise,"I said fluffing the pillows on the couch.

"I love you,"he said hugging me,"You can tell me anything."

"I know and I love you too,"I said back kissing his cheek.

I walked away and into the bedroom I went. I have to go back home, but alone. I know Daniel meant every word he said and that's why when I do go I'm going alone. He loves me too much to just kill me I suppose.

One thing I know for sure is when I go, it won't be today. I need to learn some self-defense or something first. I have to stop being afraid of this man. If I have to fight I will.

I laid down in the bed and just gathered all my thoughts together. Gary didn't bother me and neither did Nayla. I heard them playing in the living room so I wasn't worried about what they was doing. I'm starting to think heavily that coming here was a big mistake. I believe he knows where I'm at. He's just waiting for me to come back like a fool. I have to get myself together.

I finally walked out the bedroom and went into the kitchen to fix me something to drink.

"Hey you,"Gary said scaring me.

"Oh my gosh,"I started,"You scared me."

"I'm sorry baby,"he said grabbing my waist,"I'm just trying to make sure you're okay."

"I am,"I said.

"Are you sure?"he asked a bit aggravated.

"Oh my gosh Gary yesssssss,"I semi yelled,"Could you please stop asking me that?"

"I'm just being a concerned friend, but I guess my generosity was too much huh?"he asked.

"Noooo it's just you've asked me that so many times..."I started.

"And I will continue to ask you that until you tell me the truth,"he said,"I care about you."

"I know that,"I said.

"And I'm in love with you,"he said.

"I'm in love with you too,"I said.

"I just want the best,"he said.

"I get that,"I said.

"I'm going to the store for some snacks,"he started,"You want any?"

"Ummm yea sure just bring me anything,"I said.

"Fine,"he said pulling me closer,"Give me a kiss."

I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a peck on his lips.

"Do me a favor,"he said.

"What is it?"I asked.

"Don't stress yourself out okay,"he said.

"Mmhmm,"I mumbled.

"Okayyyyyyy,,"he said louder.

"Okay!"I yelled.

"Mmmwah love you I'll be back,"he said.

He left the house and it was just me and Nayla. She was watching TV so I didn't bother her instead I went back into the bedroom to get some clothes for me to take another shower. I don't know why but for some reason messing around with Daniel I feel really icky all over. I hate him so much!

I ran me some shower water and patiently waited for it to warm up and then when it did I peeled my clothes off and stepped in. The water felt so good against my skin. I wanted to melt because it felt like a truckload of stress was sliding off my back. I was in a state of relaxation. I grabbed a wash cloth and a bar of soap and began cleaning myself. When I was finished I dried my body off and changed into some other clothes.
